About Damla
Damla Palit is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family difficulties, grief and trauma. She works in English and Turkish and practices from the United Kingdom. She speaks plainly and aims to make the first step feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure.
Damla believes the person is the expert in their own story. She focuses on strengths clients already have and uses those as a starting point for change. Sessions aim to be practical and collaborative, with time spent talking through patterns, reactions and small steps that can make daily life easier.
Her approach draws on client-centred principles, cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness practices, along with psychodynamic perspectives when helpful. That mix allows Damla to work on current coping skills, unpicking recurring patterns, and building awareness of emotional responses.
She has three years of professional experience and holds NCPS as a listed credential. Her work includes support for people dealing with grief, depression, family of origin issues, domestic violence, communication problems, attachment and abandonment concerns, and coping with natural or human-caused disaster.
People who choose Damla can expect a calm, straightforward manner and a focus on achievable steps. She invites clients to explore what matters to them and to set goals that fit their life. To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire so they can be scheduled appropriately.
How her approaches fit into online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. It involves listening closely, reflecting back what a person says, and helping them find their own solutions. This approach is useful for those who need a supportive space to make sense of feelings and choices.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical experiments to change how they respond. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, depression and managing stress in daily life.
Finding the right approach is a shared task. Damla will work with each person to decide which ideas and techniques suit their goals and preferences. That means sessions can change over time as needs become clearer and progress is made.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit work on mental health into a busy life. It can reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins or regular sessions around other commitments. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can use online work to help people maintain continuity of care and access therapeutic tools between sessions.
